becks just scored a sweet free kick in the superliga against DC

8/15/2007 10:38:52 PM

where are you watching this?

8/15/2007 10:42:06 PM

I believe MLSnet and the Superliga websites are both streaming it for free, but I'm watching it on Telefutura

I'm sure ESPN will show it 13923458 times tomorrow though, so no worries

8/15/2007 10:52:14 PM

http://www.superliga2007.com streams them in english for free.

8/15/2007 10:55:28 PM

ok, so its just now at halftime?

im watching the stream now, but i guess it shuts off while at halftime?

8/15/2007 10:55:43 PM

ok nvm, its streaming again, who in the hell is pachuca? ive heard of the other mexican clubs, but not this one

8/15/2007 10:58:00 PM

They're pretty good... they won the league this past spring, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and they won the Sudamericana in 2006. They play really aggressive and attacking soccer too which usually makes for an exciting game. It's too bad their jerseys look like they belong in NASCAR, they have like 15 sponsors.

I don't claim to know much about the Mexican league, but from what I've read during the Superliga is most of their success is only recently and their fanbase is mostly local, instead of the huge America/Chivas/Cruz Azul type fanbases.

8/15/2007 11:02:31 PM

they need more variety in their commercials

8/15/2007 11:08:29 PM

wow beckham with the assist to donovan

thats what i expect beckham and donovan to do all year next year when beckham can get some rest in the mls offseason

I love how soccer is so "huge" in America now, and on here, and in the world, yet only about 5 people on TWW defend it.

FAIL

btw, I am just here to remind the few of you how soccer is failing again, how Beckham has failed, and how soccer will not catch on in America. But I guess it will take another 5 years of failing to realize this. Remember when Freddy was gonna save American soccer within 5 years? Did he? NOPE!! And where is he now? Thats right....Europe. Where are all the best soccer players?? Thats right...EUROPE. Does America care about Soccer? NOPE. Do we care about celebs? SURE. What is Beckham now? A socccer player, or a celeb. He is a celeb. So far, how has soccer progressed? Its gone backwards. Why? Because Beckham brought a lot of America to soccer and made the majority of us realize just why we hate the real football

thought beckham woulduv scored that free kick

8/15/2007 11:21:44 PM

it sounds so cliche but beckham's passing/set pieces are on such a different level than everybody else's

8/15/2007 11:22:52 PM

another great ball from beckham

8/15/2007 11:22:56 PM

nice save

8/15/2007 11:23:07 PM

ahaha he almsot scored another free kick, needed a bit more pace

8/15/2007 11:23:30 PM

for anybody watching on telefutura... can the camera guys be anymore obvious about only scouting the crowd for hot ladies?

although, way better than espn's Beckham cam

8/15/2007 11:24:14 PM

What the fuck is up to the cutaways to random chicks in the crowd every minute or so?

8/15/2007 11:24:21 PM

wow Flush, for someone who hates and doesnt care about soccer, its kind of weird that you know that Adu went to europe to play

8/15/2007 11:24:50 PM

watching the game down in mexico - that free kick was on point

8/15/2007 11:25:19 PM

nice touch on that last shot

You'd think by now, MLS would be on a better station than that, you know, with Beckham and all. But oh....wait....nobody cares anymore. Continue......

8/15/2007 11:27:42 PM

this isnt an MLS match sir

8/15/2007 11:28:17 PM

oh shit that was a close one. good cross though.

8/15/2007 11:30:25 PM

Ya see, thats awesome, just goes to prove my point even more. THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT IVE A FUCK ABOUT SOCCER!!!

Thank you! ;-)

8/15/2007 11:30:48 PM

yea for real, the galaxy are exploiting lax defense on some good through balls

8/15/2007 11:31:13 PM

Who cares? Why are you spending so much time trolling this thread then?

Some people follow it and most don't. Great. That isn't news to anyone.

8/15/2007 11:31:35 PM

even though they're losing, DC is class -- Gomez, Fred, Emilio are all terrific on the ball

8/15/2007 11:32:29 PM

donovan is hella fast.

they really are. if landon is actually worth anything he'll blow up while beckham's there, imo.

RoyalFlush, go smuggle coke on a cigarette boat or w/e the fuck you do in miami.

[Edited on August 16, 2007 at 12:08 AM. Reason : and shut the fuck up about how much you don't like soccer]

8/16/2007 12:05:13 AM

it's cool, i don't many fat guidos that do like soccer

8/16/2007 12:19:27 AM

^^Not me kid, AMERICA. America doesn't like soccer. Don't get us confused.

8/16/2007 12:34:00 AM

yea, aren't you dominican or something

8/16/2007 12:37:03 AM

^^ Soccer is going to be here til the end of time whether you like it or not. It's become a niche sport, like hockey and maybe the NBA if it continues being run into the ground. In their inaugural year, the Carolina Railhawks in Cary, essentially a Triple-A soccer team, have drawn an average attendance of 5000 in a stadium of 7000, which is pretty comparable to the other Triple-A team in the area, the Durham Bulls, and their attendance for the national pasttime. And at the games there are a lot of high school-age and college-age people and twentysomethings in attendance and not so much in the way of just Mexicans as the stereotype for the sport goes, showing there are people that will grow up and maybe continue watching in the future.

It's not leaving. You might as well get used to it.

^ Ah, Dominicans hate soccer. Here's a description of the country:

Quote :

" If the Dominican Republic ever decided to take up football, they'd do some serious damage. The country has more than twice the population of Uruguay, plus a larger GDP per capita than Paraguay or Ecuador, and it's produced a remarkably large number of outstanding athletes. Unfortunately, they all play baseball. In Cuba the diamond sport is definitely king; but in Dominican Republic it's king, queen, knave, and the whole court. With the World Cup qualifiers coming soon, you'd expect the local papers to provide a stream, or at least a trickle, of football stories; but right now the Caribbean Series is on, and you might as well not bother. And although the first qualifier is a month and a half away, the team hasn't had a single training camp."

he's just trying to fuck up our soccer threads

""I felt I was going to score as soon I got the ball in my hands," Beckham told reporters, adding that he had not practised a single free kick since joining the team last month. "It's the first free kick I've taken for eight weeks so that was quite pleasing. I was quite happy with that one.""

Damn Landon, he takes your captain's armband in his first ever start for the team and shows you how much of a suck you are on free kicks

^^ Watching Donovan take free kicks is like pounding your head against the wall.

I don't really know a whole lot about landon other than halftime shows/blurbs during games/etc., but the impression I get is that instead of realizing how he can benefit from this, he won't really want to share the spotlight with beckham for too long. Again, I could be completely wrong, that's the way he rubs me.

8/16/2007 11:16:28 AM

^ that may be, but he's still getting nice looks from beckham.

8/16/2007 11:26:38 AM

^^ I wouldn't mind him going back to San Jose next year. The Quakes fans loved him for the two titles he led them to in 2001 and 2003.

8/16/2007 8:20:47 PM

that team needs to be not named the earthquakes.

8/16/2007 10:59:37 PM

beckham's first goal as a LA Galaxy player:

8/17/2007 3:00:19 AM

Tonight of Fox Soccer Channel NY plays LA at 7:30pm. Juan Pablo Angel plays for NY and is one of 4 DP's in the league along with Beckham, Blaco, and Reyna. Angel is a scoring machine too. This should be a good game. It is a free preview weekend for FSC, so if you have Dishnet, or Directtv, you should be able to see the game.

Its hilarious to me that everyone who posts my picture isn't man enough to put some of their own in their gallery.
